Neurodegenerative disease risk associated with gene expression in peripheral monocytes across ancestries

Abstract It is hypothesised that peripheral immune states responding to regional environmental triggers contribute to central neurodegeneration. Region-specific genetic selection pressures require this hypothesis to be assessed in an ancestry-specific manner. Here, we utilise gen...

PD GENEration: an international Parkinson’s disease genetic research study

Abstract Background PD GENEration (NCT04057794, NCT04994015), sponsored by the Parkinson's Foundation in partnership with Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s (ASAP) through the Global Parkinson’s Genetics Program (GP2), is an international, observational, clinical research study...
